The Prayer

A Poem

Etienne J. Sarfelli

Oh gracious Lord and Heavenly Father

Please help me when I cannot seem to help myself

Give me strength when I have none

Please help me to take better care of myself and my health

Even when I seem to have neither the power

Nor the desire to do so

When I am too lazy to do the right thing, Father,

Please remind me that it's for my own good

When I am too weak with desire

Or when I am too tempted or too tired to say no

Please be my voice of reason

Father, please help me to adopt a healthier lifestyle

For my own sake, even when I'd like to go astray

Please continue to watch over me

Even when I seem to be doing well enough on my own

And please be diligent even when I seem to have forgotten

The world's hidden dangers

In the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit

Amen
